Today at work, we set out to go snorkeling at the nearby sugar cane pier with a few first time snorkelers! It was a gorgeous day, and the water was perfect. We even managed to catch a water snake (that later sneakily escaped our buckets).
However, our "fun-day" of snorkeling quickly turned into an opportunity to catch a
lion fish!

With Mark's coaching and encouragement, I managed to capture this bad-boy (or girl, who knows!) on my own! I definitely was hesitant to take an 8-10 foot dive to go after this guy, but I'm really glad Mark encouraged me to go for it.

What a super cool and exciting day!
